From January 8-11 🇺🇸 USS Higgins led bilateral operations with 🇨🇦 HMCS Ottawa in the South China Sea, and published a courtesy story, which the RCN neglects to do for Canadians; we regularly read about RCN operations through allied reporting.

According to CTV's Adrian Ghobrial, 🇨🇦⚓ #HMCSOttawa had been at sea for less than 12 hours before being intercepted by the PLA(N) Type 054A frigate Binzhou (515), which may suggest they're in or heading for the Chinese EEZ 🇨🇳

The PLA(N) doesn't need AIS to track them, obviously.

Unfortunately, nobody is going to ask the RCN how things are going with #OpNEON today, or ask if #HMCSOttawa is being harassed by Chinese warships / coast guard vessels in the international waters of the Chinese EEZ.
